It was a great time! Great food, lots of Glühwein! Simon was a great guide and very knowledgeable lots of fun! Something happened where the original tour i had planned had not enough guests and they moved me to this one very smoothly for no extra charge! This tour ended up lasting 4 hours! Every second was great though!
Wonderful! Thank you very much for joining us and for leaving us a lovely review. Wishing you a fantastic holidays season!
Nice experience with our travel guide, Simon. Meeting place was a tiny bit confusing but a quick text cleared it up - great communication. Small group so it was lovely chatting with others. Went to 3 markets and enjoyed food at all. Wish there was more time to spend at the first one as it was just a quick snack and drink. Overall a wonderful experience that I would recommend.
Thank you very much for joining us on this festive tour! We're very happy to read you enjoyed your time with Simon and with you both a lovely holiday season!
Simon was a great guide! The meeting place was a bit confusing but he responded to the text quickly. We went to 3 different Christmas markets. Enjoyable but would have loved a little bit more time to walk around each. Food was good.
We're very happy you enjoyed your Christmas Markets Food Tour with Simon! Thank you for joining us and we hope to welcome you back to our city another time.
My mother and I had a truly magical time on the Berlin Christmas Markets and Culinary Tour with Benjamin. He was warm, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about both Berlin and its holiday traditions. He guided us through beautifully lit markets, shared the history behind the festivities, and created such a welcoming atmosphere that it felt like the perfect winter evening. One of the best parts of the tour was the incredible variety of foods and drinks we were able to try. With Benjamin leading the way, we enjoyed raclette, Kaiserschmarrn, glühwein, Danish gløgg, bratwurst, and flammkuchen. Each stop offered something unique and delicious, and Benjamin explained the origins and traditions behind them, which made every tasting even more memorable. The pacing was relaxed, the markets were magical, and Benjamin’s thoughtful commentary added depth to every stop. This tour became one of our favorite experiences in Berlin and we highly recommend it, especially with Benjamin as your guide.
Thank you for these kind words! We are super grateful to have Benjamin on our team and are happy to read you had such an enchanting time with him. All the best from the team!
My tour was more of an overall history tour that did not focus on the specific markets or types of food found in those specific markets. This is fine as long as that’s known upfront as I expected to learn more about the foods available a the markets themselves.
We're sorry to hear the tour did not meet your expectations! We always aim to provide a food tour filled with delicious tastings, and some history to accompany the flavours. It would be wonderful if you could reach out to us directly per email with the details of your tour, so we can further investigate this.
We had been to many Christmas markets prior to this tour, yet we Still learned so much about the history in and around the markets we visited with this tour. Tiago did a fantastic job sharing the history and having us try new foods we never would’ve thought to try! So fun!
Fantastic! Happy Holidays!
Tiago was incredible. He picked the best food for us to sample. This is the best way to experience the Christmas Markets.
Lovely! Wishing you both a lovely holiday season and we hope to welcome you back to Berlin another time.
Domotros took us on a great Christmas market foodie tour with lots of history lessons! Lots of exploring, walking & also local transportation.
Glad you enjoyed the tour!
Dimitries was wonderful. Very informative and enthusiastic! We totally enjoyed the experience! Food and Xmas markets were great!
Dear Michael and co., Thank you so much for your kind words! We're thrilled to hear you had such a wonderful time with Dimitri and enjoyed the food and Christmas markets. His enthusiasm and knowledge truly make each tour special, and we’re delighted that it added to your experience. Your positive feedback means the world to us, and we hope to welcome you back on another Fork & Walk adventure in the future!
First food stop not bad, downhill from there on - v small “taster” portion of cake, lots of standing around, nearly two hour period walking to library (?) & on tram (fare not included) with no food. Then dumplings & sausage roll & that was it! V little explanation of local market history
Dear Guest, We’re sorry to hear about your experience. Your initial explanation does not align with the itinerary or the standards we strive to deliver. To clarify, we do not include items like sausage rolls or dumplings in our tours, so the description you’ve shared seems inconsistent with what we offer. Regarding the transport ticket, it is clearly stated in the tour description that it is not included and must either be pre-purchased or bought during the tour. Concerning the additional time at the library, this stop is typically brief—about 20–30 minutes—and is primarily meant to accommodate guests needing a restroom break. While this service can occasionally extend the schedule slightly, the claim of a 2-hour delay appears to be an exaggeration. As for the background information provided during the tour, this is a central element of our experience. Our guide on the day is an expert in history and local culture and aims to share engaging stories about the dishes and their significance to Berlin’s Christmas markets. We’re sorry if you felt this was not communicated effectively or if these moments were missed. Your feedback is invaluable, and we’ll use it to ensure we continue to provide the best experience possible. Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you’d like to discuss further.
